Chapter 356: Rushing into battle
On the way, Cao Ju received news from the scout, saying that after Cheng Yin's army went south, he did not stop long, but went straight to Guzang City, which seemed to be preparing to attack Guzang City.
Hehe, hearing this news, Cao Ju was overjoyed, what he was most worried about was that after Cheng Yin's troops went back, they would refuse to defend the city, so it would not be easy for him to take Zhangye County, or he could only return to Guzang first, accept the three counties of Wuwei, and then slowly map Zhangye County in the future.
However, Cheng Yin's troops abandoned their own cities, and instead concentrated their forces to attack Guzang, obviously a big appetite, wanting to leave Cao Ju's army in Liangzhou, and then attack Han Sui on both sides to destroy it together.
The corners of Cao Ju's mouth hooked up a smile, and he thought to himself, hehe, okay, I'm afraid that you will hide in the city and not come out, but now it's good, you take the initiative to come out, this is much easier.
So, Cao Ju immediately changed his plan and sent troops to attack all the way, and he didn't let go of every city.
The soldiers and horses of Cheng Yin's troops were basically transferred away by them, and the rest of the cities were some old, weak, sick and disabled, and under the pressure of Cao Ju's 200,000 army, none of them resisted, or surrendered directly, or were easily captured by Cao Ju.
However, Cheng Yin seemed to have guessed that Cao Hui was attacking the city and took all their families away.
The journey was smooth, but in less than ten days, Cao Ju's army was approaching Guzang City.
Gu Zang Cheng has been under attack by Cheng Yin's troops for several days, Dian Wei has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights, holding a double iron halberd, covered in blood, coupled with his ugly appearance, he looks like a fierce god.
Cao Ju gave Dian Wei a death order, no matter what method was used, he must defend until the day his army came, and then attack both inside and outside, and break the army of Cheng Yin's tribes.
Ma Xiu also came to the city with injuries to boost morale, after all, the army in the city is all Ma Jiajun, and Ma Xiu is naturally more comfortable in command.
Seeing that Ma Xiu's face was a little pale, Dian Wei sighed and said, "Meng Ran, your injury is not light, it's better to go back to the house to rest, I am here, and I will definitely not let Cheng Yin succeed." ”
Ma Xiu smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, General Evil, my Ma family is all iron-clad men, this injury is not a big deal, it is still important to defend the city." The evil general is brave and brave, and he is still above my eldest brother, Hugh really admires it, but the enemy army is several times larger than our army, and I am here, which can make the morale of the army high and beneficial to the defense of the city, but Hugh does not trust the evil general. ”
Dian Wei knew that what Ma Xiu said made sense, nodded and said, "Okay, after this battle, after General Meng Ran's injuries have healed, Wei Ding will have a drink with you." ”
When Matthew heard this, he laughed and said: "General Evil, the last thing we Xiliang men are afraid of is drinking, my three brothers have been drinking since they were eight-year-old children, so when it comes to drinking, Hugh is not afraid of you." ”
Dian Wei laughed and said: "Okay, among the generals under the command of the lord, only General Zixiong can fight with Wei in terms of alcohol, and the rest of the people are not as good as Wei Ye. ”
At this moment, Dian Wei suddenly found that the rear of Cheng Yin's army was suddenly in chaos, Dian Wei's heart moved, he immediately looked at it, and said loudly: "Meng Ran, it's Ma Jiajun." ”
Ma Xiu also hurriedly looked over, and immediately shouted excitedly: "General Evil, it's the third brother, it's the third brother who led the army back, it must be the eldest brother who asked the third brother to come to help." ”
Dian Wei nodded and said, "Okay, Meng Ran, you will command first, and Wei will lead the army out of the city to respond." ”
Matthew nodded excitedly and said, "Don't worry, General Evil, there is Xiu, and Gu Zang will not be lost." ”
At that moment, Dian Wei immediately ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses, went out of the city to meet Ma Tie, and Ma Xiu stayed at the head of the city to command the battle.
I have to say that the three brothers of Ma Chao are all fierce generals, and I saw that the big knife in Ma Tie's hand was like a head harvester, and the heads were constantly harvested by this big knife, and no one was his enemy.
Cheng Yin and the others also knew that Ma Tie had come over, and they also sent people over to meet them, but none of the five of them dared to go, they knew that none of the three brothers of Ma Chao, including Ma Yunlu, were easy to mess with.
Ma Tie killed Gu Zang, Dian Wei, who was even more fierce, killed Ma Tie, Cheng Yin and the others naturally did not dare to provoke Dian Wei, the killing god.
This is the role of the general in ancient times, if Yan Xing is here, it is absolutely impossible for Ma Tie to rush over, this point of soldiers and horses rushing into battle is simply self-defeating, and Dian Wei may not be able to kill him.
It's a pity that Cheng Yin and other generals don't have a high force value, and none of them dare to come forward, which makes Dian Wei and Ma Tie soon get together.
Dian Wei shouted loudly: "But General Ma Mengxing, I am the general Dian Wei under the command of General Cao Ju, I have come to pick you up into the city, you can kill back with me, and your second brother is at the head of the city." ”
As soon as he heard that Ma Xiu was still alive, he was in Guzang City, Ma Tie immediately perked up and shouted: "Thank you General Dian, let's go back to the city together." ”
The two joined forces, and the two killing gods opened the way in front, and they rushed to the city very smoothly, and Matthew immediately opened the city gate and let the two in.
Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were naturally overjoyed to see each other, but the news brought by Ma Tie made Ma Xiu's heart sink, so it seems that Ma Chao is only afraid that he will be more auspicious, but he doesn't know if Ma Yunlu and Cao Ju can rush to save Ma Chao.
Cao Ju went north, it was a detour, and Ma Tie went south, it was a straight line, so the two did not meet, and Ma Tie naturally did not know about Cao Ju's army going north.
Ma Tie shook his head and said: "The junior brother fought all the way back, and I didn't see any army going north to rescue the eldest brother, could it be that he was blocked?" ”
Dian Wei said with a smile: "General Meng Xing doesn't have to worry, my lord's army is out of his mind, he must be a detour, so it is normal for General Meng Xing not to encounter the lord's army." ”
So it turned out that Ma Xiu and Ma Tiedeng understood that Cao Ju must have done this to avoid the scouts of Han Sui and others, and to attack Han Sui's army by surprise, so that Ma Chao would be saved.
Ma Tie returned to the city, 10,000 elite soldiers lost 3,000 when they broke through, and along the way and in the charge just now, they lost 2,000 people, and now there are only 5,000 men and horses.
Although there are not many soldiers and horses, they are all elite soldiers, especially the return of Ma Tie, which greatly boosted the morale of Guzang City and greatly reduced the morale of Cheng Yin's army.
At this time, Cheng Yin also received the news that Cao Ju's army was heading south, and in anger, he immediately ordered the army to attack the city with all its might, and to take Guzang City no matter what.
